Re: Top ten all american sports cars

Sure the USA makes sports cars.

IMO a sports car is:

-a 2 dr convertible.

-very good handling.

-hard ride.

-low ground clearance.

-inadequate or no spare tire.

-hard to get in the drivers seat.

-high price.

-unsuitable for winter snow driving for several reasons.

Is it required that they break down a lot?

Aren't BMW

Pontiac Solstice, Viper, and Corvette are all the ones I can come up with in current production. And of course the 55-57 T-bird qualifies as does the Plymouth Prowler. If you allow fixed-top vehicles, then you can add enough 2-seaters to *maybe* come up with 10 postwar models that could qualify, because that allows the AMX, Fiero, DeLorean, and a few other very limited production cars.

If so, only the 70s Corvette would qualify ;-)

And definitely the Delorean if we allow fixed tops :D

Why is a car built in Ireland considered an American sports car?

And why is a Panoz not a sports car?

Probably that disqualifies it on two points. As if the French engine didn't already. I didn't actually remember where the thing was assembled.

I would say it is, I just didn't comment in the positive when I quoted that section.
